Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / cgminer 3.7.3 maxcoin/keccak

Anyone have keccak wisdom to share?
So I'm trying maxcoin mining and am not getting quite the hash I was expecting. I was getting 3.5mhs on scrypt and am expecting about 2ghs on keccak, but am only coming in at 1.65ghs. It seems that the keccak cgminer tops out at I 14… is that right?
I've got 4 x Gigabyte R9 290 and they love high intensity and a single thread. They're not really digging low intensity with multiple gpu threads. I typically run xI: 500 and TC: 30719, but am now doing I: 14, TC: 8192 and gpu-threads: 2.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / WTF? New R9 290's not recognized
|

I’m adding cards to my rig and am having some difficulty. I’d be very appreciative for any help. I have been running 1 R9 290 at 880khs for a couple weeks. I’m trying to add 2 additional R9 290’s, but they are not recognized by my system. The first card is still recognized and mines fine at 880khs, same as before. I can switch the cards and they each work, one at a time, but not together.
I had it recognizing 3 cards previously, but then went down to 1, now going back to 3. The cards are all Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 GV-R929OC-4GD. It shows only 1 GPU in sgminer, MSI Afterburner and only 1 display adapter in the Device Manager. I even booted to BAMT and it only sees 1 GPU.
I reinstalled sgminer and AMD drivers (after using Display Driver Uninstaller to remove the old ones). I’ve tried different risers. I've tried plugging each of the new cards one at a time. I’ve tried plugging the cards into the second 16x slot on the MB. All without success.
Thanks in advance.
I’m running:
MSI 970A-G43 8GB RAM Win 7 x64 1 Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 GV-R929OC-4GD directly on MB 2 Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 GV-R929OC-4GD on powered 1x to 16x risers SGminer 4.1 13.12 beta drivers
I am executing setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 and setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 before launching SGminer.
My config:
"failover-only": true, "xintensity": "500", "vectors": "1", "worksize": "256", "lookup-gap": "2", "thread-concurrency": "30719", "gpu-engine": "1002", "gpu-memclock": "1500", "gpu-powertune": "20", "gpu-threads": "1", "auto-fan": true, "temp-cutoff": "90", "temp-overheat": "85", "temp-target": "80", "queue": "0", "scan-time": "1", "expiry": "120", "api-port": "4028", "log": "5", "temp-hysteresis": "3", "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin"

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / xintensity?

So I'm trying out using xintensity instead of intensity. I've had good results so far, but I have a question I hope someone can shed some light on.
How high does xintensity go? I haven't seen an significant difference in khs going from 500 to 1000. Does it actually cap somewhere?

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Killed my hardware?

I’m setting up my first rig and am having some difficulty. I’d be very appreciative of any help. Yesterday I unpacked 3x R9 290’s and got them all to run 500khs each (2 on the board and 1 on a powered riser). I know that’s low, but was hoping to tweak the config the next day.
I let it run for about 4-5 hours and everything seemed fine. Temps were all under 90. I let it run overnight and when I got up, it had a black screen.
Now when I test them 1 at a time, I have 1 card that does 500khs, 1 that does 175khs and 1 that crashes the PC just after the Starting Windows screen. Could I have killed the cards somehow?
I’m running:
MSI 970A-G43 4GB RAM Win 7 x64 3x Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 GV-R929OC-4GD Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200 PSU SGminer 4.0 14.1 beta drivers
I am executing setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 and setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 before launching SGminer.
My config:
"intensity" : "13", "vectors" : "1", "worksize" : "256", "lookup-gap" : "2", "thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"gpu-engine" : "1000", "gpu-fan" : "40-100", "gpu-memclock" : "1350", "gpu-powertune" : "20",
"temp-cutoff" : "99", "temp-overheat" : "95", "temp-target" : "90",
"api-port" : "4028", "expiry" : "120", "failover-only" : true, "gpu-threads" : "1",
